Dental veneers: a smile worth paying for
Dental veneers have become a staple dental job treatment for many dentistry providers, with the use of veneers increasingly featuring within popular ‘makeover’ television programmes and all with the same outcome: creating a beautiful smile to match those of the greatest Hollywood stars.
Veneers are thin layers of porcelain, which are attached to the front of each tooth and held in place by a very strong bond, which keeps the veneer securely fixed. Many dentists claim that dental veneers are for your teeth what false nails are to your fingernails, and dental courses are necessary for a dentist to become prolific with such treatment.
Two of the more popular types of veneers are porcelain and composite, as offered by many dentists in London and around the UK, although there are stark differences between the two. Porcelain are the most popular veneer type due to their durability, whereas composite veneers have a propensity to stain and need replacing every couple of years.
Common reasons for the use of veneers are that they can improve discoloured, damaged or fractured teeth. Additionally, they can be used to straighten slightly crooked teeth or to close any small gaps, as veneers can be effectively shaped to any size and colour so as to compliment your surrounding teeth, thereby leaving a natural and healthy looking smile.
